CRITICAL JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The Company’s management reviews these estimates and underlying assumptions on an ongoing basis, based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates are adjusted for prospectively in the period in which the estimates are revised.
Significant Judgments
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Company to make judgments, apart from those involving estimates, in applying accounting policies. The most significant judgments applying to the Company’s financial statements include:
-
i. The assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether there are events or conditions that may give rise to significant uncertainty.
-
ii. The determination of deferred income tax assets or liabilities requires subjective assumptions regarding future income tax rates and the likelihood or utilizing tax carry-forwards. Changes in these assumptions could materially affect the recorded amounts, and therefore do not necessarily provide certainty as to their recorded values.
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS NOT YET ADOPTED
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations applicable to the Company are not yet effective for the three months ended February 28, 2022 and have not been applied in preparing the Interim Financial Statements:

RISKS & UNCERTAINTIES
The Company is actively working to identify and evaluate assets or businesses in order to complete a QT and currently has no source of recurring income. The Company has not commenced commercial operations, and has no significant assets other that cash, has no history of earnings and shall not generate earnings or pay dividends until at least after the completion of a QT, if at all. Until the completion of a QT, the Company is not permitted to carry on any other business other than the identification and evaluation of significant assets in pursuit of a QT.
There can be no assurances that the Company will identify any assets or businesses in pursuit of a QT, or have the financial resources necessary to complete a QT. Nor can there be an assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing in the future on terms acceptable to the Company or at all.
The Company’s success depends to a certain degree upon key members for the management. It is expected that these individuals will be a significant factor in our growth and success. The loss of the service of members of the management team or certain key employees could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
-
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
-
Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.
The fair value of the Company’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related party approximate their carrying value. The Company’s other financial instrument, being cash, is measured at fair value using Level 1 inputs.
The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes, inclusive of documented investment policies, counterparty limits, and controlling and reporting structures. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is provided as follows:
- (a) Credit risk:
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company’s primary exposure to credit risk is on its cash held in trust. The Company has deposited the cash with its lawyer’s trust account. The risk of loss is low.
- (b) Liquidity risk:
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related party are due within the current operating period. The Company has a sufficient cash balance to settle current liabilities.
- (c) Market risk:
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return. The Company is not exposed to market risk.

- (d) Interest rate risk:
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk, from time to time, on its cash balances. Surplus cash, if any, is placed on call with financial institutions and management actively negotiates favorable market related interest rates.
Capital Management
The Company defines capital as the Company’s shareholder’s equity. The Company’s objectives when managing capital is to safeguard its accumulated capital by maintaining a sufficient level of funds to complete the Company’s QT while providing adequate returns to shareholders.
